Help me to make bamboo texture, because i'm not found bamboo texture on Archicad 11. in Indonesia, specially Java peoples, they very familiar for using the bamboo for they houses. I has been tried to make design of a house, but i can't make bamboo for my design structure.

Swell image, but if the walls are to be bamboo, how are they assembled? Is it a bunch of bamboo stalks side by side? Show me a picture of a structure.

Okay. You want to make a series of bamboo columns and framing pieces to start. For a bamboo pattern like your bamboo board, you make that like any other texture using a flat, full on seamless picture. Study any textured material [like brick] and imagine substituting a picture of a bamboo wall in there instead.

Making textures involves getting an appropriate image and sizing it in the material dialog.

For 3D bamboo framing: Archicad has a problem doing this and it is, therefore, an intermediate skill level challenge.

You'll use several tools:

The COMPLEX PROFILE
to define the contour of the bamboo shape from top to bottom.

complex profiles wiki article

and - for creating vertical bamboo, the WALL TOOL.

Draw a small circular wall using a complex profile, similar to a revolve in creating a circular section. Now you have a bamboo......

To tilt the bamboo for braces is trickier:

The bamboo column created with the complex profile and wall tool must be saved as an OBJECT, then again as a special Archirotate object using the free Cigraph tool ArchiRotate to tilt it.

Lhalaact!

If you're short on time and use bamboo a lot (which I imagine you might) There is a 3D GDL object available at Objectsonline:

There is a small charge (28USD) but I reckon for quality of out-put, rendering time and effort it must be worth considering.

Hi Lhalaact

Heve you ever got into the final texture of bambbo? I'me looking for a unit of bamboo model to use on a project but I can't find none nor know how to do it. Can you send me a copy of your model if you really got into it?
Still, do you have models of bamboos plants that I can use for exterior decoration on a project?
I thank you very much for such help
